Bluebeard

New York: Dial Press Trade Paperbacks, 2011. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Fine. 5x0x8. Reprint. An exceptional copy. 2011 Trade Paperback. 318 pp. Broad humor and bitter irony collide in this fictional autobiography of Rabo Karabekian, who, at age seventy-one, wants to be left alone on his Long Island estate with the secret he has locked inside his potato barn. But then a voluptuous young widow badgers Rabo into telling his life story - and Vonnegut in turn tells us the plain, heart-hammering truth about man's careless fancy to create or destroy what he loves.
